Jesus is the way to eternal life. Those who believe in Jesus have eternal life. Truly, there is wonderful joy ahead because we will be with the Lord forever. The end of this life is not the end for those who belong to Christ. Instead, it is a transition into heaven, where life will have no end. And yet, we know that eternal life is not just about the duration of life. It is also a quality of life - the quality of life in Christ. He says, “And this is the way to have eternal life - to know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one you sent to earth” (John 17:3). As we come to know Christ, and to be found in him, our lives take on more of the qualities of heaven. Heaven becomes more real to us as we get closer to him. And so, Jesus tells us in John 6:27, “Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man can give you.” Through this holy season of Lent, this is our goal - to seek more of the eternal life Jesus can give us.
